Radian Superlatch Failure Retainer Clip.m4v

This is a follow up to my previous video "Radian Superlatch Failure. This video shows a different Superlatch belt than that shown in my first video. The first video showed the second replacement belt, and this video shows the first replacement belt. (Please note that early in the video I misspeak once and refer to it as my second replacement. I meant it was my second belt in all). I had returned all three belts (including my original) back to SKJP and they returned just this one to me as the final solution, along with a note to just go ahead and tighten it, and it should work.
At the time, I did not notice, but according to a new statement from Sunshine Kids, all replacement belts since February 2011 have been retrofitted with a new "retainer clip" that is supposed to lessen the likelihood of the tilt-lock failing to engage properly. After reading this statement, I got out the seat and the Superlatch belt, and looked for the wire clip that had been installed. There it was, so I decided to make a new video. Apparently the new redesign is solving some people's problems, but it did not solve mine.
If you are having a similar problem, please file a report with NHTSA online. It only takes a few minutes.

Wow, thanks for this video. I wasn't sure what exactly the problem was everyone was having. It's hard to read a description and visualize it. Now I'm going to have to go out and check my daughter's seat and make sure hers isn't doing the same thing.
